A murderer in jail at Memphis, Tenn. was
permitted by the jailer to attend q picnic in
one OF the suburbs OF the city few days ago,

seekers was perhaps not much worse than if
he had remained IN his cell and been over
whelmed with floral gifts from admirng
female friends. Murder is getting to be too
much Of a "picnic" IN this country anyhow.

but it s, nevertheless, a damage. Bishop
Potter has Burchard in the per-
son of Rector Morgan, of the very rich
and fashionable Church of the Heavenly
Rest, in Fifth avenue. The still greater
Trinity church had celebration of Queen
Victoria. Morgan preached the sermon.
His principal point was that memori-
nj window had been devised for the pro-
jccted cathedral, and that in the colored
glass Victoria was going to be extolled
and glorltied. Now, no queen, however
amiablc, can be greatly venerated in the
city OF New York, and already the can
vassers for contributions to the cathedral
fund are wanting TO know if Victoria
window can possibly be feature of tho
structure. II is understood that Bishoy
Potter has assured several persons tha
no such thing is likely.
